Gettin' The Bugs Out! (146)

Gettin' The Bugs Out!

After leaving the GS Ball at Kurt's Ash heads to the Azalea Gym with it's leader Bugsy who specialises in Bug Pokémon. Its a 3 on 3 battle against Bugsy's Spinarak, Metapod and Scyther...will Ash defeat him?

I really don't like Bugsy. He's my least favorite of the gym leaders, because he's incredibly annoying. Ash did pretty good in this episode, though, and at least Chikorita was able to beat a pokemon she isn't strong against. I also liked Team Rocket's jazzy motto, and their trying to sneak into the gym dressed as plants. I still can't help wondering why Victreebel randomly pops out of its pokeball during that scene, though. It does kind of give a preview of Wobbuffet, though.

heh... I noticed a pretty funny animation error in this episode. Right after Tsukushi sends out his Strike, Kasumi says something. While she talks, Togepi seems to be matching her lip flaps. The same thing happens a bit later.

Yup, classes again. I'm gonna be at this for a while.

I translate for #Pocketmonsters (just because I know Japanese does not make me Japanese, stop PMing me).

Bugsy is probably my favorite Johto Gym leader. It was interesting how Ash tried to use Cyndaquil at the start, but it couldn't use fire attacks so he had to call it back and use Chikorita instead. Funny how Chikorita got owned by Falkner, but won this time against a bug Pokemon. In the end, Cyndaquil earns its pay.

All gym battle episodes are good nice seeing Bugsy again it's rare to see gym leaders as young as Misty or Ash but it's always a treat. watching Metapod fight was a real treat since most people just wait for it to evolve in Butterfree before they use it. Anyway grats to Ash for winning his 2nd gym badge a Hive Badge.

This was a decent episode,and almost always gym battles are great.Battle between Ash and Bugsy for his second badge was pretty cool with certain dose of surprising elements and interesting outcomes.For example that Metapod,i really didnt expected that he can be so fast and it was nice seeing Chikorita winning against Spinarak despite type disadvantage.

Battle between Cyndaquil and Scyther was enjoyable to watch and even though i wanted that Scyther wins,im glad that Ash managed to win his badge.Overall this was a good episode.
